TIE INTERSTATE MIDDLE

The Interstate Commissioners must he aware
that they are exposing themselves to severe
criticism by persistcnty refusing TO Northern
roads the relief which they grant apparently
on every application, TO Southern roads. The
Commission began by suspendng the long
haul section for the benefit Of twenty seven
Southern companies, and presently relieved
others from the requirements Of the same sec
ton, and on Tuesday suspended that section
on application OF the Norfolk Southern and the
Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas, as to points
south Of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi.
and also on petition OF the Texas and Pacific.
as to frcights destined to Ell Paso. But the
Commission seems thus far to have granted
like relief to only one Northern company, an
unimportant road in Michigan. II is most un-
fortunate for the Commission. as rcspects pub
lie estimation Of its work, If almost the only
applications made to it that warrant suspension
of the act happen to be applications covering
nearly the entire system Of Southern railroads.
The public is not disposed to Judge the Com
mission censonousy, hut its action thus far
is calculated to produce an unfavorablc i'm
preston.
It's replies to petitions and appeals have not
been in all cases such as to encourage public
confidence. In refusing to decide questions
asked by railroad employees and commercial
travellers regarding the Interpretation Of the
act. the Commission made long homily which
had anything but an unbiased tone. 1t berated
railroad managers, If any such there be. who
refuse to accept responsibilities. decline TO offer
rates neglect to announce conditions Of traffic.
embarrass the customary interchange Of bust
ness and impose stagnatiOn on trade" In a
sentence even less judicial In spirit, the Com
mission pronounces it "unjustifable for railroad
companies TO make use of the general clauses
Of the law. ignoring its modifying and enlarg
ing words and formulas, in order to impose
additional burdens upon localities. trades. pro-
LESSONS, manufacturers, consumers. classes OF
travellers or employees, straining and repress-
ing every construction in favor Of the corporate
treasury, and quoting the new law as their
authority for all manner Of petty exactions."
Considering that the Commission refuses to
make any Interpretation Of the act. with "its
general clauses and its modifying and enlargng
words and phrases" by which the companies
might be guided, there is something approach
ing indeccncy in berating the companies be.
cause tho construction of the act adopted by
their legal advisers docs not happen to be the
unknown construction which tho Commission
has adopted, but does not venture TO make
public. Fairness requires that tho Commission
should recognize that the difficulties OF inter
probation, with which 1t refuses to cope may
easily embarrass and perplex even the most
willing railroad managers.
In reply to st. Louis mllcrs. respecting
ain transit rates. the fact comes out that

grain to Minneapolis and Of the -four thence pro-

proposes, therefore, that the previous payments
shall constitute no precedent for future indem-
mites, but that there shall DO an unrestricted
right to fish and trade on one side and an
open market for fish on the other without o
pecuniary indemnity.
If the text of Lord Salisbury fully confirms
the London dispatches the concession made is
one of real importance. 1t is to be regarded
al the outset as a tacit admission on the part
of the British Government that the Halifax
award was eXtOrdOnate since the privileges
for which so large an indemnity was offered
are now put in the market without compensa-
ton Americans cannot fail to be highly graf.
fled by this testimony from the Foreign Office
that the payment of So, 900 was not earned.
and that the decision was reached by lllegit-
innate means and the United States Government
defrauded. They will he sure, however, to
count the cost of the proposed arrangement.
The abandonment of all claims for indemnity
will reduce the fisheries question to simple
terms. Are the inshore fisheries worth the
duties to be RENTED. If Lord Salisbury's pro
posals are accepted That is the problem
which the United States Government will now
have to consider. Is the privilege OF catching
fish within the three mile limit worth tho
guarantee of an open market for Canadian
Hsh7 We hold that the value OF the inshorc
fisheries was exaggerated when they were at
their best and that it has materially declined
in consequence Of changes in the methods OF
catching fish and of the shifting of the fishing
grounds to deeper water. 1t would he, in our
Judgment, bad bargain for the United States.
The inshore fisheries, even with the remission
of the indemnity, are not worth free market
for Canadian fish.

THE ARTHUR MEMORIAL SERVICES

Tho affectionatc and honorable remembrance
in which the name and fame of General Chester
a Arthur are held by those of his countIymen
who knew him best received fit expression at
Albany Yesterday The Legislature of New
York-the State which gave him to the coun-
try-in Joint session at the Capitol with the
Governor presiding, listened with sympathetic
interest to eulogics upon his private worth ana
his public career pronounced by two disun-
guishcd orators speaking from ample knowledge
of the man. Mr.. Dcpcw, with characteristic
force and felicity of diction, presented sketch
Of the Generals illustrious career revealed the
qualities which made him what he was from
first to last, dwclt upon the two acts OF dri-
matte picturcsaueness and historical signii-
canoe which especially distinguished his Ad-
ministration. and paid a glowing but dlscrlmin-
ating tribute to his services to the country
during the war and while be served her as
President.
The scope of Mr. Brcwstcr's remarks was not
so wide. He spoke of Arthur simply as he had
known him at Washington. lie contcntcd him
self with bringing together in one view his
"high public qualities. his magnanmity, his
centencss. and all the other traits OF his nature
they were exhibited by his dead chief during
his incumbcncy of the Presidency. Mr. Brws-
ter awarded the General the highest praise
He testified that he was suited to every eX-
igency Of his position. that he had every attri-
butte that one would wish to see in Chief
Executive that his private life was beautiful
and blamclcss. The two addresses admirably
complement cach other. and unite 10 form u
noble monument to departed worth.
II is strong and attractive character that
shines forth from these eulogcs. The architect
OF his own fortunes. the ardent lover oil free

stcadfast and generous friend. the wise and
prudent counsellor. the sagacious leader. the
flower of courtesy, in peace a public spirited
citizen. in war an unsclfish patriot. rs Pres
idcnt faithful and progressive statesman
this is the picture of General Arthur which is
thus presented. On another page The TRIB-
UYE publishes both the addresses In full.
They will be widely read, and they cannot fail
TO deepen the respect and admiration which
the American people feel for the conspicuous
figure whose life and services arc reviewed.

LORD S1LISBURY,S PROPOSAL

Lord Salisbury's important dispatch on the
fisheries has been well-kept secret. Our reg
ular London correspondent referred TO it on the
day it left the Foreign Office as an attempt TO
settle the controversy on broad rather than
technical grounds The precise nature Of the
proposals made by the British Government has
not been disclosed until today, an official sum-
mary being furnished from London. Lord
Salisbury's solution is return to the pro-
visions of the Treaty Of Washington without
pecuniary indemnity for the privilege of the
inshore fisheries Instead Of repeating Lord
Rosebery's proposition for a revision Of the
Treaty of 1918, he recurs to the last point Of
departure In treaty law regulating the fisheries
tho remuneration by the United States Gov
eminent Of certain articles Of the Treaty Of
Washington. He attributes that act to dis
content with the financial features of the Hal
flax award. He proposes return to the
former arrangement with the pecuniary in
demnity wiped out We interpret this sug.
gcstion as meaning that the American Gov
ernmcnt shall not be asked to pay in future
for the privilege of the inshore fisheries, but
shall simply agree to open their ports to Can
adian fish free of duty.
The Halifax award of S5, 100000 was paid
promptly. and duties amounting probably to
over $4,000, 900 were subsequently RENTED
but the British Government were plainly in
formed by the State Department that the ar
btrators had rendered most unjust and I'M
reasonable decision. Mr.. Evarts, In his dis
patch Of September 81. 1878, cited unimpeach.
able evidence in proof Of the position that the
United States had been wrOngcd. The YER
dict had gone against the American Govern
mcnt but the diplomatic correspondence shows
that all tho aspects Of the injustice of the
award were discussed before the bill was paid.
The business did not end with the payment of
the award. That only settled the score for
five wears. Then tho whole subject was to be
brought up again for fresh adjustment; and
tho payments for the ten years covered by the
arbitration would naturally have constituted a
basis for similar claims equally extortionate.
This was one Of the worst features of this
monstrous award. Not only had an enormous
sum been arbitrarily assessed, but a rate had
been fixed by which future claims would nat
urally be calculated by the British Govern
ment. Lord Salisbury was In the Foreign
Office at the time, and has not forgotten the
vigorous protests made by the State Depart
ment against this feature Of the award. lie

keen bright sunlight of publicity from one end OF
the country to the other, and always endeavors to

inQly we are not the least inclined to complain
Of the interest which our friends the enemy are now
taking in our successful endeavor to ascertain what
the soldiers think about pension legislation But
we must confess that on one or TWO
no,nts we are somewhat puzzled and would be glad
of little information. While the Depenoent ron-
sions bill was pending the Administration organs
found constant inspiration in the bold announce
ment that the soldiers didn't want it. and after
ward the same assertion seemed to DO theT cn'o'
warrant for eloryIng in the veto. Well, then what
is the matterf Can it be possible that there are
called ladies' somewhere about, and that they are
beginning to wincei II so we are sorry, but our
w,tbers are unwrung We never pretended to read
the soldiers thoughts. though we are always Will
ing to record them.
We should also like a little light on the All
nouncement that a Wisconsin Department Com

questions on tho subject of pensions. FROM what
